Thanks, Hillary and Bill.

1. This is EXACTLY what I said would happen as soon as she went negative

At the end of the ad it should say that Hillary and Bill Clinton approve this message. THIS is why I was so pissed for months, because Hillary was doing the GOP's work for them.

Oh and while this should be obvious I'll just say it, THIS is why Hillary should not be VP.

4. I'll take it one further -

I sincerely think this is why she should not be a Democrat.

17. John Cole: RNC says to expect more of Hillary's attacks

GOP circulates Clinton's criticism of Obama via YouTube on last primary day

No One Could Have Predicted

By: John Cole at Balloon Juice June 3, 2008

This would happen:

Hours before the polls closed Tuesday in the final two Democratic presidential primaries, the Republican National Committee began circulating a video of Hillary Clinton questioning Barack Obama’s qualifications to be commander-in-chief, and acknowledging John McCain has this important presidential credential.

***

“And I think it is imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold. And I believe I have done that. Certainly, Senator McCain has done that. And you will have to ask Senator Obama with respect to his candidacy.”

The RNC posted the video on YouTube early Tuesday afternoon, just as Obama was on the verge of locking up the Democratic nomination and speculation heated up about Clinton being his running mate.

Tonight, South Dakota and Montana Democrats hold the final two contests of the primary season. Obama is expected to secure the support of enough delegates to claim the party’s presidential nomination as early as tonight, and but no later than the end of this week.

An RNC official tells CNN to expect to see more of Republicans highlighting Clinton’s critical comments of Obama as the campaign now turns to the general election phase.

“We will use it repeatedly,” the official said.


Thanks, Hillary!

But then again, she doesn’t care. This is all about her.

18. This is the key part

"An RNC official tells CNN to expect to see more of Republicans highlighting Clinton’s critical comments of Obama as the campaign now turns to the general election phase.

“We will use it repeatedly,” the official said."

Exactly, just like we said it would be months ago when this negative campaigning all started.

2. This video is proof of who was the correct choice to be the Democratic nominee

Unfortunately there are times when being right is not good, this would be one of them.

[gateley]

3. The only good thing is that this won't be running on TV

since it's 1:24 long. They could always chop it down to a :30 version.

It's going to be difficult for us to respond to one Democrat saying a Republican is more qualified than a fellow Democrat.

[ihavenobias]

6. Exactly, you nailed it with your last sentence

One of the defenses her supporters had was "so what, she's not saying the Republicans won't say in the general".

That was and is a terrible argument. It's *expected* to come from a Republican. It's FAR more damaging coming out of the mouth of a Democrat, especially such an incredibly high profile Dem like Hillary who has millions and millions of supporters.

I guess the only question left is, should McCain send his thank-you card to just Hillary or should he include Bill too?

5. You can't blame the Republicans for using the generous gift given to them by the Clintons.

Our side does the same thing when their folks say stupid things. Rather, I blame the Clintons for saying these things publicly which will hurt their own party and provide the RNC with ammunition for their ads. What is even more outrageous is that the Clintons still expect the party to support and stay loyal to them, even after they act this way.

7. When Obama meets with Sen. Clinton...

He needs to play this video then tell her this is why she will NEVER be his veep.

[Danieljay]

8. Thanks Hillary! Way to look after the party! You should be so proud!

[Highway61]

9. Good God!

She will change to "Independent" faster than lightening...mark my word. She is a pit bull on Obama's ankle...just won't let go. Enough already. BTW...where is Reid, Pelosi and Dean? Were they not going to step up to the plate here on all of this???

[singilarpoint]

10. Wrong

I may be mistaken, but the Republican Nazi Committee has NOTHING on Obama and this video is nothing more than a reflection of their sheer desperation. If they are so great why don't they run a video of all of their accomplishments over the past 8 years? Why because they have no accomplishments, unless you consider death, destruction, and mayhem as positive, they have, and are nothing!!!!!!

[AlbertCat]

11. What exactly...

.... is the RNC's definition of "experience"? Bush? How does being in the senate prepare you, exactly for the very different job of Prez....beyond "connections".
"Experience" seems to just means "more of the same".

[SlipperySlope]

12. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

[Just-plain-Kathy]

13. The Clinton legacy has gone right down the toilet. ...n/t

[Indenturedebtor]

14. Yeah add this to Nafta, oil for food, welfare "reform"

Media laws, and more. They've never been Democrats. Thanks alot you Republican HACKS!

[butterfly77]

15. This was when I finally had it with her.,,

and Bill. For the hillnuts this is one of the reasons some hate her so much.

The debate took the cake and then she and Ferraro had the nerve to get angry the next day when he said he just would knock that dirt off of his shoulders as though he was wrong when he could have said more...

[baldguy]

16. And who thinks McCain-Clinton 2008 is farfetched?

[grateful581]

19. gee Hillary

you would make a great RNC spokesperson. :eyes:

[Conyersfan]

20. We should use Romney against McCain

Romney criticized McCain often . DNC should go for it.
